A New York Times article published on Sunday reports that 40% of workplace bullies are women, and unlike male office bullies, women "appear to prefer their own kind, choosing other women as targets more than 70 percent of the time." What is going on here? While Minding the Workplace is "pleased that [the article] reminds us right up front that men are more likely to be bullies, even if female bullies tend to target other women," Echidne of the Snakes isn't sure it needed to be written: "This piece sounds to me like yet another in that long series the Times has: What Is Wrong With Working Women?
